This weekend the weather was awesome! My neck is sunburn and I'm still sore from all the activities we did. It felt good to be outside sweating in the sun and with my family. I hope that the weather was just as nice in your neck of the woods. This was just the kind of weekend I was looking forward too after a tough week at work. Please consider doing this for me; the recent news of the passing of a good friend of mine has made me realize that we're all one big family. Please give someone a call who you haven't heard from in a while. It could be family or a colleague. Let them know that you're thinking about them and hope that they are doing well.   Everyone enjoy the rest of your week and thank you for tuning in to the show!

We've got a lot of news stories to talk about on today’s show everyone. I received some very sad news on Monday as a good friend and colleague of mine Butch Notter passed away Sunday night. A guy I've worked with for the last 15 years Butch was a guy who taught me a lot and I will miss him. This makes me realize that we spend more time with our colleagues at work than we do with our family at home. It also opens my eyes to the fact that we are here for only a limited time and that we need to live life to the fullest each and every day.
